son township, and is supposed 10 he hiding

| thereof; and the tree 80 infected shall be
subjected to destruction as public nuisance.

where there is good reason TO believe that
the disease ezsig shall fortlYth appoint
| three freeholders, who shall Immediately OK:
| anime the suspected tree or fruit, and If they
shall fnd 1t diseased, order the owner TO de-
stroy 1t within ten days. II he does not
obey he lis liable 10 fine or imprisonment,
| or both, az il becomes the Commissioners
| duty 10 effect the destruction at the cost Of
